The old testament has absolutely nothing to do with christians.
It is relevant for Christians, but the New Testament transforms its meaning–for everyone, whether they accept or reject Christ. The religion of ancient Israel couldn't continue to exist after Christ's life, death, and resurrection. The pharisees and their spiritual descendants had to create the Talmud to reinterpret and replace the Torah, because the old way simply didn't work anymore.
Because people, even many very sincere Christians, don't sit down and read the Bible all the way through.
Yes. The Talmud basically turns the Tanakh and the Pentateuch on its fucking head. Talmud discourse is basically pilpul, a way for these filthy liars to reconcile their abomination of a religion with the truth of the Bible.
See above. Most Christians do not understand the Bible and simply follow their corrupt priest or pastor and nod their head in mindless agreement. Revelations explicitly calls these people liars and satanic. Revelations proves the worthiness of the gentile and the aberration of the jew:
"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." (Revelation 3:9 KJV)

No it is not. Jesus explicitly says it is not in the bible. Remember, the new testament is the bible. The old testament is the tanakh.

We're not justified by means of the law in the OT, but we do benefit from reading it as history and seeing the ways in which Christ is anticipated in it.
